Bobby Roberts’ Super Circus tour of Scotland Summer 2009

1 April 2010 by

In the summer of 2009, Bobby Roberts’ Super Circus set out on a tour of southern and central Scotland. Travelling with the circus were horses, ponies and dogs for use in the show, as well as two non-domesticated animals. This report describes how, as the circus went from location to location, it repeatedly ignored local authority leasing and licensing requirements; explains why, in the view of Advocates for Animals, Scottish councils are entitled to have a policy of refusing public entertainment licences to circuses with animals; and calls on the Scottish Government to introduce an outright ban on these outmoded and unnecessary displays, so that public policy can be properly enforced.
